    I think Luigi needs to do more speaking out. He needs to run for office once he’s acquitted.

      If there’s any sign of that happening, they’ll definitely kill him

        He has already shown he would die for our rights. If he would be good with it i would still vote for him.

      He should run for president then immediately claim immunity based on the courts trump rulings.

          This is always a wild one to me, he did it and hes a hero for it, stop erasing his badass act. It’s such a fringe conspiracy that not even Luigi has endorsed it

            Allegedly…he hasn’t admitted to anything afaik… and as far as I’ve seen the evidence is flimsy …why would he escape and then hang out in a fast food restaurant with the disposable murder weapon?

        I up voted because who the fuck would assume any practical result where USA is concerned.

        It’s naive to think that Luigi has any future in a fascist country.

        To answer your question in a non facetious way, there’s a phenomenon called the csi effect. Essentially, juries expect csi levels of ironclad proof that tends to make it much harder than expected to convict.

        Combined with the high profile and over politicisation and publication of the case, i see it damn near impossible fornthem to find 12 jurists who will unanimously find not only enough evidence, but not have a refuser based on sociopolitical contexts- much like how OJ walked on the LAPD’s corruption.

      At the state level yes. This is for the federal charges.

    Missing something here. How are the feds prosecuting for murder when murder has always been a state charge? In any case, is this not double jeopardy?

      I think because he fled across state lines. It seems like a stretch to me, but I am not a lawyer.

          Not that much of a stretch. Since a state may refuse to arrest someone who committed a crime in a different state if they are sympathetic to said crime (especially a concern when USA was split between slavery and anti-slavery states), the feds can have jurisdiction in these cases, since otherwise it may involve a dispute between states. It makes at least some sense…

          If you want to see a real stretch (aka completely made up bullshit), look up how feds justify growing marihuana for your own consumption (not sale) somehow involves interstate commerce.

      Double jeopardy does not apply to facing federal and state charges under the dual sovereign doctrine. It does not really make sense, but that’s the law.

        Certainly not.
